What are some funny cousin cooking stories?

My mom once tried to make a stir - fry. She accidentally used the wrong kind of soy sauce, a really strong and bitter one. The whole dish tasted so off that we couldn't eat it. She was so embarrassed but we all found it hilarious in the end.

My neighbor once attempted to make a soufflé. He didn't whip the egg whites properly. So when it went into the oven, instead of rising beautifully, it just sort of slumped to one side. It was like a sad, deflated balloon. He was so disappointed, but it was really funny for the rest of us to see.

Once I tried to make a simple omelette. I cracked the eggs into the pan but forgot to turn on the stove. I just stood there waiting for it to cook for a good five minutes until I realized my mistake. It was so silly.

Sure. One time I was trying to make a cake. I accidentally put salt instead of sugar. The look on my family's faces when they tasted it was priceless.

Sure. Once my mom was making a cake. She accidentally put salt instead of sugar. When we tasted it, it was so salty that we all made a funny face. But we laughed a lot about it later.

Sure. One time my friend tried to make a simple pasta dish. He put the pasta in the pot and then got distracted by a phone call. By the time he remembered, the pasta had turned into a big, mushy mess that was stuck together like glue.

My mom was cooking a turkey and she got distracted by the phone. When she remembered the turkey in the oven, it was a bit overcooked. But we still ate it and joked about how it was 'extra crispy' and that it was a new 'cooking style'. We had a lot of fun with that tough turkey.

A family member tried to make homemade pizza. They rolled out the dough too thin in the middle and too thick on the edges. When they put on the toppings and baked it, the middle was burned and the edges were still doughy. It was a total mess.

There was a family where the dad decided to cook pancakes. He was so confident but he mixed up the baking powder and baking soda measurements. The pancakes came out flat as a pancake could be. They ended up using them as frisbees! It was really funny. He learned his lesson though and now makes great pancakes. The whole family still jokes about that first attempt.

I once tried to make a soufflé for the first time. I followed the recipe carefully, but when it came out of the oven, it deflated immediately. It was a disaster but also a funny memory.
